If your client needs the assistance of high caliber local counsel in the state of Florida, look no further than Hill Ward Henderson. For decades, the world’s most prominent law firms have relied upon Hill Ward Henderson to serve as co-counsel in complex litigation and transactional matters throughout Florida. Our extensive experience in Florida’s courtrooms and boardrooms make us an ideal choice to work alongside out-of-state attorneys to resolve client issues.

Our litigation attorneys have tried several complex cases to jury verdict while acting as co-counsel to
out-of-state attorneys. We are knowledgeable about the local rules, judicial preferences, and the subtleties of practicing before Florida judges and juries.

Our transactional attorneys routinely serve as local counsel in a range of transactions and corporate matters, including financing transactions (rendering legal opinions and providing advice about Florida corporate and real estate laws), mergers and acquisitions (advising prospective buyers of Florida-domiciled entities on Florida law), and drafting employment arrangements (providing guidance regarding the enforceability and scope of non-competition and similar restrictive covenants).

Probably the greatest testament to Hill Ward Henderson’s abilities as local counsel is the fact that the law firms we have worked with in the past have repeatedly returned to request our assistance with new matters. Our attorneys hold in the highest regard the trust that out-of-state attorneys place in us when we are retained as local counsel.
